I'm about 1.5 seasons through the grueling 7 season trek. It's starting to get more interesting.

Halfway through season 2 is pretty much where I've always thought it started to get good. It ramps up pretty quickly from there -- most of the painfully cheesy stuff is out of the way (though there's always a healthy dose of cheese) and the characters and their relationships are starting to really develop. I think that's also where it starts to shift from pure monster-of-the-week to more long-running plots. You're in for some good stuff.

I'm thinking of the episode where her friend from elementary school comes and ends up trying to trade her in exchanged for becoming a vampire. Then you find out he has a brain tumor and that he only wants to become a vampire so that he can keep living. That moment sticks out for me as the dividing line between the monster-of-the-week and the deeper, character-probing stuff. All the episodes before it are completely black and white, but here all of a sudden there's a much more complex decision involved.

I liked buffy for about the 1st 4 seasons but found myself switching to angel.

That's funny -- I was glad when Angel came around, because it was a place for them to stick all the characters I didn't like.

Funnily enough, I felt the exact same way with Angel at first. Looking back on Buffy and Angel now, I think I'm more of an Angel guy. I like the character progression better in it, and I much prefer the somewhat darker tone.

I do agree they put the lesser character in angel but somehow I start enjoying angel more and more. I felt the writing for angel in the beginning was freer as compared to the buffy plot baggage which had slowly built up. Angel in my opinion did suffer the same fate but it was a nice ride.

I'm about half way through season 4 of Buffy and I just got through the first four episodes of Angel. I'm trying to catch up to the point where I can watch the two shows side-by-side since they overlap. I like Angel so far, but it makes me miss the other characters a lot too.

Laura and I are working through Buffy and Angel (her first time, my Third). The show still holds up for me. We are currently in season 6 of Buffy and sorta behind on Angel (still in Season 2).. It's weird to think how old that show is now..

I think it was an episode of Around Comics where the thirty-something hosts informed the teenage guest host that if he was planning on watching Buffy, he should do it soon, because it's "rapidly dating". There are definitely some cringeworthy elements of the show, but at it's core, it's gold.

Me and Andrew watched all of Buffy on Netflix a couple years ago (back when it wasn't instant). I felt such an emptiness when it was all over... *sniffle*

I just started watching Angel again, man the 3rd season is so messed up and awesome. I think I like Angel more than Buffy- its more mature, dramatic, and demented, but still campy enough for entertainment.

Did Netflix only recently put Buffy on instant play? I've been watching it through the mail and now I'm terribly distracted watching season 6 instantly. I have only one thing to say to you all, let's watch it, Once More, With Feeling

Probably. Firefly and Dr. Horrible just went up; I think they netted a lot of Whedon shows.
